Have you never met Andy from Glasgow? He used to post on Superarcadia as Proactive. Maybe he's stopped playing nowadays.

Andys in Aberdeen now, and by all accounts just drinking anything he makes.

Never knew anyone stayed in Inverness, Andys thru there occasionally.

As for scots, dunno how you've not met older players Bowie!

I'm 29, Keiran would be 32, phils 30, anyds god knows but 33+ at a guess, garys must be 34, chris is 30-31, craigs 37, gibbos 35(?), gaz already covered, bens 30 anyway, adam I think 28/29, george gotta be 37+. Not many oldies, but few as young as 27. Wee criags only about 23 but he doesn't count ;)

Maybe older players are less inconspicuous and don't get noticed.

Only met Wee craig and Liam, both younger than me, never met this Gibbo guy, he's meant to be pretty on top, seen an older guy about has a moustache and if i'm to be honest looks pretty rough, watched him force the shit out of a r2r video in the standing order once so didn't think he was proper pro, what was Gaz's username here?

Haha!

Thats tashy down to a tee! Thats big Craig that'd be pushing the R2R out, incase your wondering. Gibbos the tall Yorkshire lad who's going grey ;)

Is Liam Jay - as in looks like Jay from Jay n Silent bob? Seen him with a fat hairy bloke, hence the description, they travellers afaik. Needs a better fitting pair of jeans, you can hear the coins at the other end of the street, fuck knows how he doesnt get barred before he even walks in the pub.

You saw me and Keiran in the queens way playing the rovers a few years back.

Yeah that's Liam you're on about, from Dumfries, saw that tashy guy taking on a Perfect game the same day, it was just after the 70 quid upgrades though so maybe just testing the water. Seen him in Dunfermline once, he had just had a Cash or Bust i went in for. not very much in Dunfermline now so probably why players give it a wide berth.

Yeah, thats was us.

Last time I was in dumf the casino crazy had £10 win on the top winline, a red 5 on the reel and last win was 70. Weird way to get the pot... AnywayThe double stake in the centre was good, if it had any cash in it. Had to leave it ready / float it twice.

That electro is long gone, i know the manageress and she said the machine never made any money the time it was there, getting smashed from all angles, i'll openly admit i can't hit them so wasn't too bothered,where you from? Was it you that came in for the electro in the bowling when i was on it (taking a slow hard lesson i can't do them) saw me then fiddled with the quizzer for a minute and left?
